XPRIZE – Carbon Removal
Fecha de vencimiento: 26-07-2021
This Challenge is requesting new design solutions for biologically based sensors for use in water systems that can detect the activation of one or more human toxicity pathways. Toxicity pathways are the perturbations to normal biological processes that occur due to exposure to a stressor, such as a chemical, that has the potential to lead to adverse health effects. Although the sensor might not identify a specific contaminant/toxin, it should be able to measure or quantitate the level of activation of one or more toxicity pathways when the sensor is exposed to water that contains relevant amounts of contaminants/toxins targeting the pathway(s). The solution should be less costly, more efficient, and more rapid than current methods for water toxicity analysis. This Theoretical Challenge is Stage 1; there is the potential for Stage 2, which would consist of a Challenge to produce a prototype.
GE – Powering Taiwan’s Growth with innovation
Fecha de vencimiento: 31-08-2021
The recent restart of the Taichung (coal-fired) Power Plant Unit 2 has created some concerns about power shortages and air pollution, along with the best ways to save energy. According to the Taiwan Power Company, Taiwan’s electricity consumption on June 24, 2020 came to 37,169.5 MW, setting a new record. How can the government mobilize its citizens to save electricity and reduce peak loads to achieve the goal of reducing thermal or nuclear power plants? CHALLENGE OPTION 1 Provide innovative ideas to increase electricity supply and decarbonize Taiwan’s power sector CHALLENGE OPTION 2 Present solutions to reduce energy demand/consumption in Taiwan

Abu-Dhabi – Singapore Smart Cities Open Innovation– Seeking New Energy Efficiency and Smart City Solutions for Street Lightning
Fecha de vencimiento: 29-07-2021
ADNOC is seeking innovative energy efficiency solutions for the street lighting systems within Ruwais City. The current street lighting systems are conventional; the lights are turned on in the evening, left on throughout the night and then turned off in the daytime. In addition to energy-efficiency solutions, ADNOC is seeking proposals on how to best leverage street lighting as an extension of Ruwais City’s emerging “Smart City” infrastructure, wherein the streetlamps themselves are the platform upon which smart devices could be connected and/or mounted.

AWS – Public health genomics (Diagnostic Development Initiative)
Fecha de vencimiento: 31-12-2021
The AWS Diagnostic Development Initiative will support projects that are using AWS to support research-oriented workloads across four program areas: early disease detection, diagnostics, prognosis, and public health genomics. Given the need, the emphasis initially will be on COVID-19, but we will also consider applications for other infectious diseases. We will not support administrative workloads to run routine IT operations through this program. Eligible projects can include viral genomes sequencing, viral genomic surveillance, and sequences made available on open data repositories.
